SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA) – El Centro de Entrenamiento para Manejo de Servicio de Alimentos La Cocina by Somerton Main Street Café se encuentra listo para conmemorar su 20 aniversario este martes 5 de mayo, marcando dos décadas de trabajo continuo en la capacitación y servicio a la comunidad.

Como antesala a esta importante celebración, la mañana de este lunes 4 de mayo se recibió a un grupo de aproximadamente 50 adultos mayores, visitantes de invierno provenientes de fuera del estado de Arizona.

El grupo fue traído por la Cámara de Comercio de Yuma, en una visita especial que permitió mostrar de cerca la operación del restaurante y el impacto del programa en la comunidad.

Ubicado en su sede en 950 East Main Street, segundo piso, en Somerton, este centro ha logrado mantenerse activo sin interrupciones durante 20 años, consolidándose como un espacio clave para la formación en el manejo de servicios de alimentos, así como un punto de encuentro para residentes y visitantes.

Autoridades del proyecto destacaron que alcanzar dos décadas de operación continua representa un logro significativo, resultado del compromiso del equipo de trabajo y el respaldo de la comunidad.

La celebración principal se llevará a cabo este martes 5 de mayo, y contará con la participación de directivos y personal del centro.

Con esta conmemoración, La Cocina reafirma su misión de seguir formando talento local y ofreciendo un servicio de calidad que ha perdurado a lo largo de los años.

They’ve traditionally been completed at least 90 days out from an election, but President Donald Trump is pushing for aggressive reviews targeting non-citizens and other ineligible voters. His efforts are testing the limits of federal law.

2⃣ Bidding high

3⃣ A different direction

It was a family-owned Christian summer camp where wealthy families sent their daughters. Then tragedy struck last July. The family that ran Camp Mystic fought for months to reopen it before abruptly shifting course.

There can be power in positive thinking, but best-selling author Nir Eyal takes it a step further. Research suggests that having optimistic views on aging could add years to your life.

5⃣ Partying on

It was a rave like any other, with thousands of people from across Europe gathering to enjoy the music. Here’s why authorities say revelers were taking a big risk.
